Doubtful that these CPLs will survive the National Gateway modernization going on in this area.  Contributor's Pick!       
The building right behind the signals is the only remaining EL Freighthouse, there were two of them. By the 70s, we spotted cars of newsprint at both buildings for the Akron Beacon Journal. Their time & temp tower is right behind the left signal. The entire area beyond the CSX tracks to the wall was full of EL tracks.
